Sir,
1. I have the honour to refer to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Singapore on trade in textile products initialled on 28 June 1986, as last amended and extended by the exchange of letters initialled on 26 November 1992.
2. In order to take into account the likely accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union on 1 January 1995, the European Community considers that the following amendments should be made to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Singapore on trade in textile products:
2.1. Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing become applicable in our relationships, as a consequence of the accession of the Republic of Singapore and the European Community to the WTO, Appendix I sets out the notional quantitative restrictions for the enlarged Community to be considered, for the purposes of the notification to the Textiles Monitoring Body, as those maintained by the enlarged Community and in force before the day of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, within the meaning of Article 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.
Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing not become applicable in our relationships Annex II of the Agreement which sets out the quantitative restrictions for exports from the Republic of Singapore to the European Union is replaced for the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 by Appendix II to this letter.
2.2. Article 13, paragraph 2, subparagraph 2, second indent of Protocol A, Title III, Section II should be amended as follows:
"- two letters identifying the intended Member State of customs clearance as follows:
AT = Austria
BL = Benelux
DE = Federal Republic of Germany
DK = Denmark
EL = Greece
ES = Spain
FI = Finland
FR = France
GB = United Kingdom
IE = Ireland
IT = Italy
PT = Portugal
SE = Sweden"
2.3. The Annex of Protocol A, setting out the model of the certificate of origin is replaced by Appendix III to this letter.
2.4. The Annex to Protocol A setting out the model of the export licence is replaced by Appendix IV to this letter.
2.5. The Annex to Protocol B setting out the model of the certificate applicable to certain cottage industry and folklore products is replaced by Appendix V to this letter.
2.6. Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing become applicable in our relationships, as a consequence of the accession of the Republic of Singapore and the European Community to the WTO, Appendix VI sets out the notional quantitative restrictions for economic outward processing operations for the enlarged Community to be considered, for the purposes of notification to the Textiles Monitoring Body, as those maintained by the enlarged Community and in force before the day of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, within the meaning of Article 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing.
Should the Uruguay Round Agreement on Textiles and Clothing not become applicable in our relationships the Annex to Protocol E of the Agreement which sets out the quantitative restrictions for economic outward processing operations is replaced for the period 1 January to 31 December 1995 by Appendix VII to this letter.
2.7. Should one or more acceding countries not join the European Union the adjustments calculated for this or these countries shall be deducted from the "Adjusted limits" set out in the Appendices to this letter and the respective amendments mentioned under point 2.2 shall not enter into force.
2.8. Notwithstanding the modifications referred to under points 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, during a transitional period that will end on 30 June 1995, the competent authorities of the Republic of Singapore shall be authorized to continue issuing the forms that were in use in 1994.
2.9. Should inaccuracies appear in the trade figures used to establish the adjustments contained in Appendices I, II, VI and VII, technical revisions of these adjustments will be made following consultations and provided that the request for consultations is made not later than 28 February 1995.
3. I should be obliged if you could kindly confirm the acceptance of your Government of the foregoing. Should this be the case, this Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters shall enter into force on the first day of the month following the day on which the Parties have notified each other that the legal procedures necessary to this end have been completed. In the meantime, it shall be applied provisionally from 1 January 1995 on the conditions to be specified in an exchange of notes (see Appendix VIII).
Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.

of the European Union

Senat zgłosił w środę poprawki do reformy orzecznictwa lekarskiego w ZUS. Zaproponował, aby w sprawach szczególnie skomplikowanych możliwe było orzekanie w drugiej instancji przez grupę trzech lekarzy orzeczników. W pozostałych sprawach, zgodnie z ustawą, orzekać będzie jeden. Teraz ustawa wróci do Sejmu.

Mimo iż do 1 stycznia zostały trzy tygodnie, przedsiębiorcy wciąż nie mają pewności, które zmiany wejdą w życie w nowym roku. Brakuje m.in. rozporządzeń wykonawczych do KSeF i rozporządzenia w sprawie JPK VAT. Część ustaw nadal jest na etapie prac parlamentu lub czeka na podpis prezydenta. Wiadomo już jednak, że nie będzie dużej nowelizacji ustaw o PIT i CIT. W 2026 r. nadal będzie można korzystać na starych zasadach z ulgi mieszkaniowej i IP Box oraz sprzedać bez podatku poleasingowy samochód.

Komitet Stały Rady Ministrów wprowadził bardzo istotne zmiany do projektu ustawy przygotowanego przez Ministerstwo Rodziny, Pracy i Polityki Społecznej – poinformował minister Maciej Berek w czwartek wieczorem, w programie „Pytanie dnia” na antenie TVP Info. Jak poinformował, projekt nowelizacji ustawy o PIP powinien trafić do Sejmu w grudniu 2025 roku, aby prace nad nim w Parlamencie trwały w I kwartale 2026 r.

4 grudnia Komitet Stały Rady Ministrów przyjął projekt zmian w ustawie o PIP - przekazało w czwartek MRPiPS. Nie wiadomo jednak, jaki jest jego ostateczny kształt. Jeszcze w środę Ministerstwo Zdrowia informowało Komitet, że zgadza się na propozycję, by skutki rozstrzygnięć PIP i ich zakres działał na przyszłość, a skutkiem polecenia inspektora pracy nie było ustalenie istnienia stosunku pracy między stronami umowy B2B, ale ustalenie zgodności jej z prawem. Zdaniem prawników, to byłaby kontrrewolucja w stosunku do projektu resortu pracy.

Przygotowany przez ministerstwo pracy projekt zmian w ustawie o PIP, przyznający inspektorom pracy uprawnienie do przekształcania umów cywilnoprawnych i B2B w umowy o pracę, łamie konstytucję i szkodzi polskiej gospodarce – ogłosili posłowie PSL na zorganizowanej w czwartek w Sejmie konferencji prasowej. I zażądali zdjęcia tego projektu z dzisiejszego porządku posiedzenia Komitetu Stałego Rady Ministrów.

Prezydent Karol Nawrocki podpisał we wtorek ustawę z 7 listopada 2025 r. o zmianie ustawy o ochronie zwierząt. Jej celem jest wprowadzenie zakazu chowu i hodowli zwierząt futerkowych w celach komercyjnych, z wyjątkiem królika, w szczególności w celu pozyskania z nich futer lub innych części zwierząt. Zawetowana została jednak ustawa zakazująca trzymania psów na łańcuchach. Prezydent ma w tym zakresie złożyć własny projekt.
